TICKS AND CHIGGERS DON' T BOTHER ME TOO BAD THANKS TO PERMINONE, BUT THE ONE THING I HATE IN THE SPRING IS BUFFALO GNATS. MAN THEY BITE AND EVEN IF YOU WEAR A MASK THEY SEEM TO FIND THE EYE HOLES AND ONCE THEY ARE IN THEY CAN WRECK HAVOC. THEY WILL GET IN YOU EYES, EARS, NOSE, MOUTH AND JUST WORRY YOU TO DEATH.
